Synopsis

Fourteen-year-old Jack is discovering that he has a knack for fixing things. Not bikes or toys or appliances - situations.... It all starts when Jack and his best friends, Weezy and Eddie, discover a rotting corpse, in the fabled New Jersey Pine Barrens. Beside the body is an ancient artifact carved with strange designs. What is its secret?

About this title

Review:

"Wilson deftly keeps interest high with well-drawn characterizations, modulating the thrills with details of day-to-day life in the early 1980s. Cracking good fun for teens." --Kirkus Reviews

"Fast paced and wonderfully crafted, this is a great book for both adult fans of Jack, and a wonderful new series for young adults. If you haven't read Wilson yet, this is a good place to start." --Crimespree Magazine

"After 11 Repairman Jack novels for adults, most of which have strong elements of science fiction and fantasy, Mr. Wilson has written Jack: Secret Histories, his first for teenagers... It's easy to see why Stephen King describes himself as the president of the Repairman Jack Fan Club." --New York Sun
